I was generally still priced about the same amount of many sellers who also added a blank shipping fee. Ive bought many items myself and some dealers are making a lot on shipping.

    Kevin, I always do a flat rate. After I put in the weight and dimensions, I look at the calculated shipping range and go a wee bit higher than the middle and usually end up a bit over the actual cost. Anything that has taken a lot of time to clean or needs extra packaging I add that into the flat rate. My reviews are at 4.9 on shipping and 5.0 on everything else, so I'll gladly take that! I work hard to offer very fair prices, reasonable shipping, and excellent customer service and communication. I always include a hand written note on the packing slip because people want to connect with a real person, and I want to personally thank them for shopping at my eBay store! Maybe that's the only kind thing they've heard all day! I represent myself, my family, and Jesus Christ.... that's why I choose to be fair and honest in all my transactions. Have a blessed day! 😊

    We used to do free shipping on a lot of things. I don’t recall why, but we stopped, and started switching things over to calculated. At the time, our sales started to increase lol. Most of our items now have calculated shipping. It’s funny how much we’re always learning as we go, and always learning to go with the flow and changes in the market.
    As for people who complain about shipping prices, I understand how much it sucks to have to pay for shipping, but buyers need to understand, resellers are not Walmart or Amazon. We simply can’t afford to ship everything free. Nor can we compete with big box prices for some stuff. We have to calculate at least some of the shipping costs in if we offer free shipping.
    Another problem is buyers asking for steep discounts. Again, try that with a big box store. We are careful to price our items based on average sold comps. On that note, most people who ask questions like that never actually follow through and buy anything anyway even if we agree.

    I bought something from a dumpster diver. It was a new set of bath stuff. Lotion and soap etc. Also included a new sealed pack of coffee. I got the invoice and should have canceled because I paid more for the shipping and he then told me that if I would have included more stuff (from his auction) I would have qualified for a cheaper box since he used the post office special boxes. I got gun shy and haven't bought anything since. I understand the shipping prices but the thing is...back then it could've been nice to have been warned 😊
    Next........time 😂

    Kevin you are so right about the Free Shipping. I am 22 Years on Ebay, and I never offer Free Shipping. I agree there is no way to not charge for shipping if you want to stay in business.

    I do some of all of the above just depends on my situation. That no shipping person is not living in reality even Walmart and Amazon has shipping baked in they are just so big they get better pricing on products and shipping.

    I always include free shipping, and just add it into the total price.
    For me, I think it's just a psychological thing with the buyers. The word "FREE" seems to appeal to them.
    I've been selling for 25 years and (for me anyway), I have always had more supplies cess selling an item for $25 free shipping, over $15 w $10 shipping.

    One thing I find funny about his comment is he can tell if shipping is baked in there is no way because he doesn’t know what the seller paid for the item unless he’s only buying from content creators that tell the purchase price

  • @MakerBoyOldBoy
    @MakerBoyOldBoy Před 27 dny

    eBay prices are simple. "Free shipping" means shipping is already included in price. Simply add other items' shipping costs to the item price. Not rocket science. Some sites state all prices include shipping.

    I do free shipping on all my items because I reuse about 90% of the packaging materials that I get for free from a source. Most of the packaging materials aren’t new and pretty but still works for shipping. Of course I add the shipping cost to the item price though. Been doing “free shipping” for 10 years now and it’s worked for me.

  • @bradrodrigues2084
    @bradrodrigues2084 Před měsícem

    If I didn't have free returns, or returns at all I would probably do Free Shipping with Same Day Ship but with Ebay Policy & what Amazon is doing it forces me to charge shipping 99% of the time. Also a lot of items on Amazon have the shipping charge included in the sale price if you are getting "Free" shipping as a Prime member. The items are clearly higher priced sometimes to offset Amazon's delivery, convenience and speed.

    I just posted some Masters of Universe figures including spikor, when I went to put him in storage I noticed his legs were broken! So I pulled the Post down before it sold, I was going to repost as parts. What holds those legs on for those characters from the 80s is this black band made of stretchy material. And they are real fragile. This just happened me

    just china is free shipping ali express, temu etc at least to Canada. I do free shipping with single trading cards and some single video games / comics that I ship domestically and add the shipping cost to the end price, some cents do not get accounted for like 20-30 cents.

    In a Facebook group where sellers help other sellers, I have seen more than once someone post about how they are losing money by offering free shipping. They complaint they aren't making any money at all because the shipping cost cuts into their profit. And I have seen listings like that on eBay where it's clear the seller hasn't included the cost of shipping. So some sellers learn the hard way that "free shipping" ain't *free.*

  • @jefferymorris4644
    @jefferymorris4644 Před měsícem

    The cost of materials and time to get the item ready plus the cost of the post office labor and the gas to the post office, standing in line. All sellers cannot stay in business not charging for what they pay to get the item to you such packing materials and their time. I hate paying postage but i remind myself is that i would charge shipping and postage if i was the seller. 😊😊😊😊

    Calculated shipping for me. I've been burned a few times and lost my profits. Sold a remote control at free shipping and made .15 cents. my bad for sure but after that I just do calculated shipping. It factors in everything for me and changes based on there location.

    Calculated. Live in CA so shipping higher to most locales so no free shipping In process of listing small dollar amount, 4 separate items, lightweight. Actually checked at post office and it may or may not go over so free shipping definitely out of the question.

    I am located in Minnesota so it makes it easier for me to do free shipping listings. Obviously when I list I calculate the average shipping cost into my listing price. However, I do not do free returns unless it was my mistake. if I'm gonna eat some shipping cost, so are they.

    Amazon Prime isn't free, I pay around $20 a month whether I buy anything from Amazon or not. I am new to reselling, and I have thought about this very issue a lot. I am certain that anyone wanting free everything is more likely to return said item, most likely at the sellers expense. So to me, it isn't really feasible to offer free shipping and stay in business, and by offering free returns is motivation for the buyer to carefully consider whether to return it or not. And my final thought is, if someone wants to threaten the buyer with a boycott, go ahead, I probably wouldn't want that type of customer anyway.

    rarely free shipping, no returns, most often calculated shipping because I usually mess up figuring a good flat rate ship if its not using a flat rate usps box.
